Elgoibartarra basketball wants to leave behind all the obstacles that it has encountered this last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic and is already looking forward to the next campaign, in which it will tell, for the first time in its history, with one team in the senior category and another in the junior category (players born in 2004 and 2005). All those who are interested in joining this project have only to come to the Olaizaga sports center on Tuesdays and Thursdays of this month of June from 7:30 p.m., coinciding with the training of the teams, or contact the telephone 618,259. 339 (Carlos). “We still have places available in both teams, so those who are interested in playing basketball in Elgoibar have an unbeatable opportunity to do so,” they indicated from Elgoibarko Saskibaloi Taldea (EST).
The commitment to having a team in the junior category represents a paradigm shift in the operation of EST. For years, the club has served as a platform for basketball fans from Elgoibar and other surrounding towns to have a club in the senior category in which to give way to their passion for the sport of the basket. However, the club is now seeking to lay the foundations for a quarry project that, in addition to attracting the youngest to the world of basketball, serves to supply new players to the first team. In fact, his sights go further and he does not rule out the possibility of starting a basketball school in the town. “We have the door open to players of all ages, both male and female. Our first objective is to face the season with a senior team and a junior team, but we do not rule out starting teams in any other category if we can gather enough chips for it.
A particular season
The 2020-21 season has been marked by Covid -19. In fact, the outbreak of the pandemic and the prevention measures imposed in all areas reduced the Modelberri campaign to a few games in which little more than the itch to achieve victory was at stake, since it was agreed that it was not going to be neither promotions nor descents. The games were played without an audience and there were teams that gave up competing from the first moment. This bad dream at the sporting level seems to be about to end and everything indicates that the next campaign may be played with a certain normality, which is still good news for fans of basketball and sports in general.
